Okay, I know the first one, but can't recall the title. I think it's the one where the woman comes to Sherlock about the position as governess or piano teacher she wants to take but there are strange caveats to it, or strange things have taken place... OY that describes a number of them! Nevermind.
What I find in my new discovery of both canon and the Granada films is that Sherlock is very gentlemanly and will go out of his way to ensure the safety of his female clients -- and there are many, which means females feel safe going to him -- but he does not leer at them in the same way that Watson does. To me that just means that Sherlock doesn't view every attractive woman that asks for his help as a potential sexual partner. NOT that he doesn't LIKE them.
BBC Sherlock seems to actively find them distasteful, but he finds most people distasteful regardless of gender and doesn't have the political correctness that would set this right.
